Bah. "At least the ex-mayor was making mends by paying something" is setting the bar low don't you think? The standard should be paying all that he agreed and was mandated to pay-- anything less is just a cop-out and you know it.

Kwame lied knowing the consequences. I'm having trouble feeling worry for him when the consequences were so clearly laid out for him. Should his defense have been, 'sorry your honor, i know that I lied to the court, but in the interest of racial equity I escape a known and well-stated consequence for my actions.'
